Excellent Stay
The place was clean and cute. The pool area looked very nice, but we didn’t have time to enjoy it bc we were busy exploring the town. Having washer in the unit was a big plus, so we did some laundry. João made the check-in and check-out very easy.

Amazing property - we will be back
This property is absolutely amazing. Beautiful surroundings, very well designed interior for two couples. Front and back private terraces. Inground pool cleaned daily. Lots of flowers and trees, sunbeds and shade. Close to town, close to the beach. In short, it was perfect! And the price was excellent. We will definitely return.

Breathtaking property
Our stay at the Sanctuary was perfection! Everything from the communication with Joe and Joao, to the ease of entry, to the cleanliness of the apartment, the stunning landscaping and proximity to all our destination highlights was perfect! We had 5 adults in our group and really loved having 2 washrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed and could easily accommodate a queen or king which would be a nice upgrade but we made due. The beds are quite firm but if you like that then you’ll be fine. We can’t say enough good things about this property! We truly hope to one day be able to stay here again. Thank you again for the lovely stay!!

Great place to stay!
We spent a week in this lovely complex mid June and we were almost alone. Felt really exclusive. The apartment is in good condition, spacious rooms and lovely patio. We had almost all of our meals outside. Great outdoor environment with well kept green areas and a lovely pool, which is bigger than the pictures shows. The owner has four sunbeds free of charge. Spacious parking just outside the apartment. Walking distance to several popular beaches. No need to use the car. Will definitely come back. Note, the beds in the bedrooms are firm! Request for an extra mattress in advance if needed.

Vacation from the vacation
Loved the location of the sanctuary - away from the hustle and bustle. This location is best if you have a car rental, as it is away from Lagos center and beaches are located on steep hills (for older folk, it may be a bit much) If you don’t have access to a phone plan - download WhatsApp to communicate with the caretaker - once you meet up, it is easy to access the apartments. Place was clean - loved that there are two bathrooms. We loved sitting on the balcony and having an afternoon swim during downtown. Super convenient to get to many attractions such as the cave tours or Sagres. Beautiful sandy beaches in every direction! Beds were comfortable and place was quiet in the evening

Wonderful 2 bedroom condo close to the beach and good area
2 bedroom unit is clean and in a nice quiet complex and furnished well. The outdoor furniture were extremely comfortable and of good quality. One minor problem that was resolved quickly with property manager. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Amazing area and apartment
Absolutely amazing apartment, terrace and garden. Perfect for both adults and children. We hade every meal outside, morning sunshine and shade in the afternoon on hot days. Large bedrooms, a big dining room with sofa and TV. On top of this a large pool with a smaler jacuzzi. Joe is the most caring manager to find I think. No questions are to small to answer and very fast feedback. We will come back. feedback.

Letzter Stop einer Autorundreise
Wir haben Ende Mai eine Autorundreise vom Norden in den Süden gemacht. Lagos war dabei unser letzter Stop und Ausgangspunkt für die Sehenswürdigkeiten an der Algarve. Sowohl die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter als auch mit der Agentur vor Ort waren unkompliziert. Bei Fragen wurde schnell und zielführend geantwortet. Die Wohnung selbst was super. Sehr geräumig und mit allem wichtigen ausgestattet. Tatsächlich war sie schöner als auf den Bildern. Das Highlight war die Terrasse zum Garten mit Zugang zum Pool; dort haben wir die meiste Zeit verbracht. Es war super ruhig, allerdings waren auch viele Wohnungen noch nicht belegt. Lediglich auf der Baustelle nebenan wurde zwischenzeitlich etwas gearbeiter. Wenn man noch etwas bemängeln möchte, dann vllt dass die Matratzen sehr hart waren. Aber das ändert nichts an unserer Top-Bewertung.

Langzeiturlaub
Es war eine wirklich wunderbare und erholsame Zeit in Lagos. Zum Strand Porto de Mos nur 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Wenn man länger dort Urlaub macht, ist ein Auto auf jeden Fall sinnvoll. Wir sind deshalb die 2.500 km mit dem eigenen Auto (2 Übernachtungen in Frankreich u. Spanien) dort hin gefahren. Es hat uns sehr gefallen, sodass eine Wiederholung in Betracht kommen kann.

Superbe location
Superbe location 👍 Immeuble de construction récente très bien entretenu 👍 Appartement Spacieux, décoré avec goût, les deux salles de bains sont un + ( nous étions deux couples) Le jardin et sa piscine ... super bien entretenus dans un espace de verdure paradisiaque. Petite suggestion : un plan de travail ou une table serait bienvenue dans la cuisine ... manque de place pour cuisiner Petit souci à l'arrivée à l'aéroport... la barrière de la langue lors du contact par téléphone., on a pu se débrouiller avec une dame portugaise (au bureau de location de voiture) qui a pu traduire. A part cela... le Top 👍
